I have a 2003 Silverado 2500HD LS - 6.0 Gas Automatic. Has factory steering wheel controls- can their function be reprogrammed or can 2008+ Steering wheel with factory handsfree be installed ?

I love my 2003 Silverado 2500HD LS. I bought it from a neighbor who bought it, it had very low miles and the axle seal was leaking and he went to pieces over that.

 

Truck has a documented total 126,000 miles on it. I had the axle seal replaced, had the A/C system repaired.

 

The truck has the "LS" trim. It has a steering wheel that came from the factory.

 

The truck also had a Sony XAV-AX1000 aftermarket stereo installed. It was supposed to be hooked up so you could retain use of steering controls but I don't have an IPhone.

 

So far as I know, all states prohibit driving and holding your phone or anything like that.

 

I purchased an Alpine iLX-W650 which is supposed to be Android Auto and also I have purchased a PAC RP5 GM11 module that is supposed to allow me to use the steering controls.

 

Here is what I am wondering: 1. Is it possible to reprogram what the buttons do ? Such that I can make hands free cell calls ?

 

I have a 2008 Silverado LT and it has a steering wheel with both hands free and stereo controls. Can that be retrofitted to a 2003 ?

 

Is there any kind of module that I could attach to my steering wheel and it control hands free ?

 

I have that PAC RP5-GM11 but the reprogramming of buttons has not worked out at all.

 

So if anyone has any experience or wisdom, please let me know.

I've got the same ILX-w650 in my '04 3500, using a PAC-Audio RP3-GM11, no SWC, and I can do "Hey Siri" to initiate stuff on my iPhone when it's connected.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
